Hi Mike, You could use a win98 boot floppy to get to the CD but the other way is to go to www.freebsd.org and search the handbook for installing from floppy. You will need to create two floppies boot.flp and ...uh..something else with the .flp extension that is on the freebsd cdrom. Thatis how I always do it.
